Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and cook until golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. When caramelized add Worcestershire and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the onions in a bowl.

Place the ground bison in a bowl and add the Heinz 57 sauce to the meat. Lightly work the sauce into the meat until the sauce is distributed evenly throughout the meat. Form 8 oval shaped patties roughly the size of the buns.

Wipe out the skillet and add another 1 tablespoon of oil. Season the patties with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat in batches if needed until well browned, about 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-well burgers. Place the top on the skillet as it cooks on each side and add a small amount of water. The steam will not only assist in making sure that the meat is cooked throughout, but also aid in locking in moisture to guarantee a juicy burger and prevent the patties from sticking to the pan.

Place the bison patties on the buns and top with the Provolone or Swiss cheese. Divide the onions among the burgers you are well on your way to indulging in a Bistro Style Bison Burger!!! Lastly, enjoy such a simple yet tasty culinary masterpiece that was incarnated in your own kitchen!!!
